Common settings for Dialogs

Is there a way to define some common details for a dialog theme.

For example, I would like to add a corporate logo and some specific text to ALL of the dialogs.

is there a way to do this without having to individually edit each one?

Unfortunately, because the dialog editor lets everything to be customized, without any restrictions, it becomes very hard to allow definitions of global properties across the entire range of dialogs in a theme. We welcome your ideas if you have any on how to surmount this problem.

Basic Background

The main thing would be a standard dialog layout,
Background and Logo.
Other than this, the editability of the dialogs is very useful.

One thought would be
Assume that all of the dialogs will be the same basic size and layout, and have a fixed background, edit on a seperate page.
Or even have an option to select a template page to give you the choice of a couple if you did need to have more than one basic layout.

Just a thought :)

Thanks for the thoughts. If you check out some of the themes like Impact, you will see why its really hard to make templates...but I have passed your suggestions to the product team and I am sure they will come up with something.
